Shrubs 
T HERE is some place for flowering shrubs around every home 
—cottage, mansion, or palace. A corner needs a bit of 
color, a foundation wall needs to be concealed, a garage should 
be screened. In all these places flowering shrubs are adaptable, 
hardy, and successful. 
From our fields this year we shall take the finest shrubs pos¬ 
sible to grow—large, well developed, with good roots, and not 
by any means like the shrubs sold on “bargain" counters, which 
in many cases are of unknown origin. In fact, Hillenmeyer 
shrubs carry several canes, and only the small sizes can be sent 
by parcel post—others go by express. 
In the descriptions "F" indicates adaptability for foundation 
planting. The figures following the name indicate height at 
maturity.

New Red-Leaf Barberry 
Introduced some seven years ago, this new plant, Berberis thunbergi atropurpurea, 
has become immensely popular. It resembles the Japanese Barberry in growth, but the 
foliage is brilliant blood-red in spring. The color holds all summer in sun, but in shady 
places it becomes a beautiful bronzy green. Its winter charm is enhanced by red 
berries that remain until spring. Few shrubs attract so much attention, or add so 
much color to a dull border. We consider it one of the best newer plants, and our 
stock is strong and vigorous. This year the price is so low that the Red-Leaf Barberry 
should be used freely.
